Mumbai Terrorist attack

Few terrorists attacked Trident hotel and Taj

Hotel armed with Sat phone,AK 47 and

grenades and held on for few days

Lighted fire on Taj Presidential suite on the top

floor.

Elite commandoes ,fire fighters found it

difficult to counter such few attackers

HOW do we prepare for such situations ?

4/19

Lessons learnt

Combined drills of fire fighters and elite

commandoes is essential for succesful

operation.

Personal protective equipment used by both

units has been revamped

Design and drill for safe passage of guests

/staff implemented

New roles of fire fighters

CBRNe response-hazmat response

Chemical biological radiological nuclear

explosive threats Equipment and training in not only smoke

detectors but also C B detectors

Policy making in fire and safety

We firstly need to understand what are the

needs of a human beingair food water and

shelter

AIR-

a) ambient temperature--

b) right composition--c) free of contaminants ---

Level of comfort in crises

How many stairs can a hotel guest be

expected to be able to do in crises response

How long can a guest be without food/waterin safe rooms /areas

What temperature can he be expected to bear

with in crises of level 1 2 3

Level of oxygen

Vision or sight reduction in a smoke scenario

System design for HAZMAT response

Any system design to start with human being

and his capabilities during a crises or disaster

Stress is found to reduce capability of humansby as much as a fourth applicable for first

responders

Unpredictability of disasters

Table top exercise at design itself
